carl, i have found the fauldings a bit dryer than the maca root cream when mixed with a hard soap, do you find that too, or is it just me? Not that I mind, just trying to work it out.

Sometimes I think a razor is like a good woman, you have to work at it a little to get a great edge. The Aiku did not disappoint today with a super smooth 3 pass shave.

Have a Great Monday Gents!

Prep: Lukewarm Shower
Razor: Gem Micromatic Open Comb
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: Tabac
Post Shave: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Finish: Aqua Velva Musk

I'd forgotten how good a single edge shave was. This razor is special because it is the founder of the feast. This was my first real razor when I started wet-shaving seven years or so ago. Needless to say, my first few shaves were a bit rough but after watching Manic's videos and lots and lots of practice it just seemed to take off from there.

Thank you. A few members including Glen had good words to say about the Hess 44 and I can say it does not disappoint shave wise too.
